Patriots owner Robert Kraft flies with President Trump on Air Force One

The White House press pool report noted that Kraft was on board Air Force One with Trump and was wearing his trademark black Nike Air Force 1 sneakers.

President Donald Trump brought along a good friend on his return flight to Washington on Sunday after a weekend at Mar-a-Lago - New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Kraft stood alongside Trump as the president fielded questions about the Republican health care plan as well as North Korea. The friends spent some quality time together aboard Air Force One, and Kraft couldn't have picked a better pair of shoes for the occasion.

Kraft was spotted in a small group with Trump at the Palm Beach International Airport in Florida on Sunday afternoon, as well as aboard Air Force One.

Kraft has explained his friendship with Trump in the past. Back in January, Kraft revealed to the Daily News that Trump's kindness to him after Kraft's wife, Myra, died in 2011 meant a lot to him. He was one of five or six people that were like that. "I remember that", Kraft said.

Kraft has also previously been spotted at Trump Tower and was a VIP at the Chairman's Global Dinner, which The Wall Street Journal described as "the most exclusive event preceding Trump's inauguration".
